It just doesn't look good if you have ambitious plans for the football club, if you did Keates would be gone weeks ago.

Also I note that TNS had 154 applications for their managers post and yet we only interviewed one ?????

As Holt said, perhaps the new bloke is in a job and has a bit more loyalty than Keates to see a job through before jumping ship?

So, you think our owners don’t have ambitious plans for the club?

Keates has got to go now,if the owners have any integrity,or feelings for the fans,then tomorrow morning it should be announced he's gone, but in reality I somehow don't think it will happen.

Keates should have been shown the door immediately and I don't understand how he's still in the job tbh. He's now lost three on the bounce ffs. The football at best is shite.

Fair enough if they want to let his contract run out and they have someone ready to come in but we don't know if this is the case.

They should sack him and either advertise or go get someone to do a job. This gives the new man time to have a look at what he has to work with and what he needs. Delaying the inevitable is just stupid.

If he's kept on next season then I will have serious doubts about how serious they are.

Because the takeover was delayed and we ended up unable to sign enough players during the transfer window I think the new owners made a pragmatic decision as regards Keates. They realised we were unlikely to gain promotion this season and with the new CEO not starting until June .So they are just letting Keates run down his contract before appointing a new manager.
There is an argument to bring him in sooner but it wont change the facts about promotion.
We just need to be patient and trust the new owners as frustrating as that might be with Keates in charge

Promotion this season wasn't there for the taking, despite how poor the division is this season.

It would be nice to get a head-start on next season though.
